Alexander The Great

About This Movie

Alexander The Great, released in 2010, isn't your typical historical epic. It's more of a character study, focusing on Alexander Varma, a man whose high IQ sets him apart, yet his journey is fraught with existential twists. The atmosphere is somber, layered with a sense of inevitability. Pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, shifting from reflective moments to sudden, jarring plot points. Practical effects are sparing, allowing the performances to take center stage. The cast brings a raw intensity, particularly in their portrayal of ambition versus fate. It’s distinctive, not just for its narrative but for how it contemplates the burdens of intellect amidst life's unpredictability.

Character study rather than a traditional epic. · Uneven pacing with reflective moments. · Intense performances highlight the themes.
